Parent of a child actor

Thanks lil. I see your point. My son is soon to be twelve and an athlete. Baseball to be precise. When ball season came around this year he had to make a choice - baseball or auitions. He chose baseball and only auditioned if a game was canceled. Baseball season is hard - he has practice several times a week and it is not very close to where we live. He does his homework in the car most days and we don't usually get home until 9 - time for bed. But he is up and ready every morning by 6 am for the bus at 7:30 even though I offer to drive them the 5 miles to school so they can get more rest. Ky carries a heavy school load already but handles it better than any adult, including me. I have to put my foot down when he takes o what I think is way too much. He's such a popular kid in school and in Little League - he was voted sportsman of the Year, and nominated as a Sports Embassador to Holland for People to People. He learns quickly and tutors others in his advanced math and science classes. Frankly, I do not know how he does it, but he prioritizes his activities. Mikki on the other hand is a natural born chatter box. Although great in school now, I worry that things will get too hectic for her as she grows up. Although, she handles her classes and 5 dance classes a week, little league and acting classes. We have a busy yet structured lifestyle.
